My dear friend Mika just moved to Thailand with her boyfriend Bobby. She said it feels like the home she’s always been seeking. I try to imagine what that might feel like, having only experienced it in spurts here and there throughout my life.

 Some things, people, situations and places have reminded me of ‘home’ occasionally, beckoning me like a long forgotten song still imbedded deeply in my soul. Sometimes, a vision of a beautiful, enchanting place will pop into my head… and I know I’ve experienced it somehow before.

What I don’t know for sure is if it came before or is yet to come. I also wonder if it could be a collective memory, something from my most distant and ancient relatives. I wonder if I am seeing another part of the world or another dimension. Or if I created the image myself.

Perhaps the answers to these questions don’t matter as much as what I get from these visions and reminders. Because the inspiration (both specific and general) that comes to me after having these flashes is a special kind of fuel for the spirit that keeps me not just going, but going with a twinkle in my eye, a spring in my step and a knowingness that there is meaning even to the most insignificant-seeming hunches.
